Some games are good, some games are bad: Such are the facts of life when it comes to the production of any media.

Welcome back to another look into the near future! Summer is winding down already, and all of the cute, little children (read: insufferable semen-stains) will be back to school, and no longer clogging up ‘Call of Duty’ servers 24 hours a day.
